Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority Now Accepts PayPal

TAMPA, FL — The Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority is offering PayPal to its growing list of payment options for customers to pay their past-due tolls at THEA’s collections vendor, Valor Intelligent Processing.

“Preparing THEA’s toll systems to support the future of the transportation industry is part of our day-to-day customer service functions," said Rafael Hernandez, THEA’s director of toll operations. “We are focused on the implementation of modular and highly scalable financial back-office systems that are ready to plug-and-play with other available third-party vendors and deliver a secured and reliable business experience to our customers.”

In addition, PayPal’s ability to use cryptocurrencies creates additional safe and easy payment options for customers.

• At checkout, if a customer has enough balance of cryptocurrency to cover an eligible purchase, crypto will automatically display as a payment method for that purchase.
• Customers will be able to select their cryptocurrency of choice – Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum or Bitcoin Cash – depending on what they are holding with PayPal and the balances available in each cryptocurrency. Only one type of cryptocurrency can be used for each purchase.
• Once the customer confirms the purchase, the cryptocurrency is converted to fiat currency by PayPal on the customer's behalf and the transaction is completed.

PayPal will also allow unbanked customers to use the PayPal Cash Card Network to help with making payments online.
